Animal Axis – Holistic Health Solutions
Animal Axis is a Gold Coast based business that is passionate about helping your canine achieve optimal health and wellbeing for happiness and longevity. We endeavour to provide your dog with the best treatment so they can look and feel their best.
Founded by the qualified and accredited therapist Kim Russell, we are located in Southport. At Animal Axis we employ a multimodal approach to our treatments and each are tailored to the individual needs of the dog.
We believe in providing a holistic approach to health and wellness by employing the philosophy that “the body is a unit”. Our focus is on how the body functions as a whole entity and the complex interrelationship between the body’s structure and the way it functions, including how this can, in turn, affect canine behaviour.

How We Can Help
Animal Axis is passionate about dogs and their wellbeing and is committed to keeping them healthy and happy. We offer a wide range of therapies and services, providing personalised treatment plans designed for your canine’s individual needs. We work closely with your veterinarian to ensure the best possible care for your dog!
We are committed to the health of your dog. Our holistic/multimodal approach using varied physical therapies and treatments can help improve your dog’s physical condition, whether they’re recovering from surgery, living with an illness, suffering from anxiety, getting on in years or dealing with the strains of high intensity work and sport. You may even be seeking preventative and/or relaxation treatments.
We offer non-invasive physical treatments, which can improve and maintain your dog’s health and wellbeing. These treatments can be used to relieve the symptoms associated with existing injury or illness, and are also a great preventative measure in maintaining optimum condition and mobility.
Our Mission
Our mission is to take a holistic approach to the physical and emotional wellbeing of dogs through tailored therapies and training.
We are committed to providing reliable and ethical guidance surrounding the ownership of dogs, working with guardians to provide professional advice and continued support. We believe that by empowering guardians through education and creating clear communication channels we can support the public and their pets to live happy, healthy lives.
Animal Axis is committed to the core values of animal welfare and professional standards as well as delivering the best possible service to dogs and their owners. We want to help improve the overall welfare of dogs in our community, through education about the importance of mind and body health. Our clinical therapy and treatments provide a cost-effective and ethical solution for dogs facing musculoskeletal or behavioural concerns.
